Prior to my current job, I was a food critic. I spent a huge amount of time going to bar after bar, sipping wine and cocktails while I took mental notes on everything from the service, to the ambiance, to the actual cocktails themselves.
Ossiana TepfenhartPublished 7 years ago in ProofBest Nerdy Bars In the World
The world is full of great bars, bad bars, and even ridiculous bars, but very rarely do you encounter one of the best nerdy bars in the world.

English brewers created the oatmeal stout in the 1800s as a nutritious addition to a hearty breakfast.
